So me (18) and my boyfriend (24) have been together for about half a year. Since I've known him, he hasn't had a job which upset me very much. However, he would now have had an interview, which is now unfortunately postponed by the lockdown. That of course also means that he has never had any money in the whole time and I have therefore always paid for everything, be it his gifts, food, snacks, clothes etc. I don't spend anything for him at the moment because I still go to school myself and actually don't have a lot of money myself. Until then, it never really bothered me, because I always had in the back of my mind that he had no money either (even if he was supposed to earn some at the age of 24). However, he has now received a few hundred euro from his brother for his birthday and wants to spend everything on a ps5. (Although he already has an xbox and a ps4) Which in itself wouldn't be a bad thing, since it's his decision, but I'm a little disappointed that he doesn't even save something if we want to do something again or not with it always i have to pay. That shouldn't come across superficially, I'm just slowly feeling a little ripped off and I hope someone understands me. Even if it was just a chocolate or something else. I just want to know that he doesn't take it for granted that I'll pay for everything… When it told me that he wanted to buy a ps5, I asked him about it and he got angry.
what would you do in the situation?
When he gets the Ps5, as in my case, he sits in front of it all day because he doesn't have a job for a change I do an apprenticeship and play with my boys in the evening, but there isn't much time and you're gone for him from the window so don't miss the moment when you no longer play a role for him Trade immediately let him buy the ps5 subscription for online play 60euro because still play 80euro and because other content it will definitely be expensive I can only say from my own experience and from 60 euro quickly becomes 100 and 100/200 that goes so quickly you don't even notice it
Now I would like to come back to it if you don't have a job but buy a Ps5 so you should really take your legs in your hand and make your head because if that doesn't happen, the gambling addiction draws into her and he loses it Bit by bit and more does not occur to me, but it would definitely not be my case with such a partner… Buy Ps5 but not a job, etc. Shouldn't sound bad. The Ps5 is expensive like a car contract every month and if something breaks thick bill.
What kind of training did he have?
Well, he won't have any money.
If he is actually unemployed for half a year, he will get Alg1.
And if he lied to you and has been unemployed for much, much longer, he will get Alg2.
It's like he's taking full advantage of you.
I hope you don't live with him yet?
Then please separate quickly, you will never change guys like that
And if he should find a job it is difficult to teach him (again) to invest his money differently to invest smarter, because once he is in the game he will not get out of it that quickly, I can only say from my own experience 😂 because all the money flows into LG there too
He's just not mature enough. I would never have entered into a relationship with this person. He can do what he wants with his money. But I think it will never change either, everything is comfortable and works.
So why change something?
If you see it that way, I would tell him frankly that he can find the PS5 more important than anything, but that you will no longer subsidize him because you see it differently. If he is then eaten more than just briefly, and briefly I could understand that, after all, he then has to do without something one way or another, I would think carefully for you whether what you like about him is this behavior / that the attitude behind it outweighs.
None.
I can understand you. Your friend always assumes that you pay for everything, even though you are still going to school and therefore don't have a lot of money. Spending a lot of money on a game console when you already have one is immature and selfish. If your friend doesn't see this on their own, then you have to make this clear to him. If the point is that you should pay something again, just say: No, I have no money for it, this time it's your turn to pay.
